Miracle Gro “A Monster Calls” Ad (Proposed)

In the children’s book and movie A Monster Calls, the titular monster is a Yew Tree in a human shape. And I would propose an ad for Miracle Gro that suggests that to grow such a monster, use Miracle Gro. Or, more precisely, we could see the mother of the sick kid in the story using Miracle Gro on a Yew Tree, and it becomes the monster that befriends her son. And the announcer could say: “For miracles like this, use Miracle Gro.”

(BTW: This is another riff on my spec Miracle Gro Guardians of the Galaxy Groot ad from 2014.)
